My mum's side of the family is from England (and I was born there) so I grew up with an electric kettle and it's weird when I find a household that doesn't. They're just so useful! Nowadays I have a hot water dispenser. drat I'm gonna go make some tea now. Oh and to keep things on topic, I'm watching the movie May from 2002 and wow they had NO idea how to advertise this movie huh

May, like Ravenous, is a 10/10 movie that seems kind of impossible to advertise for beyond "hey, weirdos!"

Soooo much faster than a kettle on a gas stove and light years faster than a kettle on an electric range. Just pick one thats like 20-25 bucks on amazon and has a good rating. I’m on call this weekend and tethered to my computer so give me some tubi recs that aren’t History of Occult, I already did that.

The US and Europe have different standards for electricity but there's nothing magic about electric kettles that cause them to not work on the US standard. Weird elitist beliefs like that are what caused the UK to blow a 13 colony lead against us in the first place but they never learn

UK electric kettles do boil noticeably faster (typically at least twice as fast) than kettles in North America, simply due to the wattage. We use them a lot in Canada and they're still a bit faster than stovetop, but it's not quite like European kettles that can boil two cups of water in forty-five seconds. To put it in horror terms, a British woman who wants to throw half a gallon of boiling water on the maniac with the knife who's invading her home will only have to wait about three minutes, while an American woman who wants to do the same will probably have to wait at least six minutes.

May rules so fuckin hard. I think by and large I like all of Lucky McKee’s output I’ve seen even if none of them approach May levels. It’d be a great double feature with Excision.

All these talk about Kettles you’d be surprised what they can do, I work in a prison here where the prisoners only get kettles in their cells, I’ve seen them cook up some incredible looking meals using nothing but a couple of cheap as poo poo kettles. This does have the side effect of blowing the power in the cell occasionally but that’ll happen when the buildings wiring is like a thousand years old….

Roman is a really interesting no-budget companion piece that flew under the radar. Written by and starring Lucky McKee but directed by Angela Bettis. Worth a watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB8GrVRZq5A

Plugging a lower-wattage electric kettle (like those from the US or Japan) into a more powerful 240v UK outlet can also be a fire risk, just in case the writers of the next Final Destination film are reading this and need an unlikely series of events to culminate in someone's grisly death. "Ooh, blimey, I can't believe I got safely off that doomed plane. Now to have a nice cuppa." Etc.

I still haven't seen May even though it's been on my watchlist for like a decade. I always think "I should definitely watch this for the next May Challenge thread", forget about it when the challenge actually comes around, remember it in like July and then decide I'll definitely watch it next May. I might just bite the bullet and watch it this weekend.

Anyone seen When Evil Lurks yet? Might check it out today (in my ongoing crusade to bankrupt movie pass), seems like it could be good. I tried getting into VHS but bounced off the first segment in the first movie (with like the frat guys and vampire lady or whatever? Such cringe 2000s energy) but I should prolly skip around and watch the good bits. Whoever recommended Ura Horror that was solid, like a little j horror short story collection, I actually liked how short each of the bits are. Not all of them hit, there was more humor than I expected, I'd say it was pretty good overall.

Cup noodles, tea, instant flavored coffee, instant oatmeal, got a pot boiling on the stove and it got a bit low-off to the kettle to add some more hot water. Punkin Spunkin posted:Anyone seen When Evil Lurks yet? Might check it out today (in my ongoing crusade to bankrupt movie pass), seems like it could be good. Yesterday at work one of the managers was ready to hurry up to box to let me know that even with it not listing a rating, to treat it as rated R, only to have the other managers point out I likely already know, have already seen the red band trailer and will likely be grumbling that we don't have earlier showings so I can catch it before my shift.

These big iconic horror properties are always in a rotation. You always have producers looking around trying to figure out which famous horror franchise is in that sweet spot where it's been dormant for long enough that people would be hyped for it but not for so long that people have totally forgotten it. It was The Exorcist's turn apparently. Five years ago it was Halloween, two years ago it was Candyman.

The Pope's Exorcist was a pretty decent possession movie but it goes so hard at the end then becomes the Avengers.

I’m stupid as gently caress and mostly turn my brain down to a comforting hum when I watch movies but even despite that, May is one of the most thematically coherent movies I’ve ever seen. I really dug it!! Also finished V/H/S/85 earlier today. Pretty fun! I have a crush on Gigi Saul Guerrero and I liked that she got to play a bit part in her own segment. Then in the credits I saw she got her dad involved
